WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police are investigating a shooting in the parking lot of a soccer complex that left a 22-year-old man dead.
Police say they were called to the scene late Saturday night, after the final game of the Canada African Cup of Nations soccer tournament, and found a man with gunshot wounds.
The victim, identified as Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi, of Winnipeg, was taken to hospital and died. He was a player in the tournament. "This does not appear to be related to the soccer event itself, or any of the participants in the event, or any of the community members who attended the event," McKinnon said.
